178
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,280

Speaker 1: I am you mean them, I'm not just you.

181
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 6: I was just curious. I didn't know how to ask.

182
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 5: But I see all the pictures posted, and I see

183
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 5: you know, all the celebrities, and I'm just wondering, since

184
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 5: we know we're gonna enter the state of the world.

185
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 5: Are y'all like actually talking about things that could help

186
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 5: you know that y'all are powerful individuals.

187
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: Well, I mean it's not G thirteen, but I will

188
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: say that a good four to five hours is pretty much.

189
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: I don't know when these episodes are coming to be

190
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: or I don't know if it belongs to quality or.

191
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 7: Dave owns the content.

192
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: But dude, oh, I told you that's what they was doing.

193
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: I told you it's about Yeah, it's at this rate,

194
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: I think he has I know, lie, I think there's

195
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: about forty hours of content.

196
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 9: Yo.

197
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 5: Nicol were releasing our Dave Chappelle episode fu that.

198
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 3: No, I'm just saying.

199
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 9: Oh man, I'm just saying.

200
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: Well, it's not that's the thing. I don't think Dave

201
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: has a platform. But this is going to go somewhere someday.

202
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: But the last time I did it, last time, it

203
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: was really good episode like most like basically each episode

204
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: is most quality. Dave like, they're the anchors. Those three

205
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: are the anchors, and then me and whatever comedian Kevin

206
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: Hart uh sometimes uh Kevin Hart, Bill Burr was the

207
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: last time before that was John Hamm Common Tiffany Hattish

208
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, but I will say that, yeah,

209
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: and it's it's it's not just what I won't say.

210
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: It's not just us. I don't want to say fluffing No,

211
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: it's it's not it's us.

212
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not.

213
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's actually us holding people's feet to the fire.

214
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: Like everything that including an hour about you know, quality's

215
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: situation with the with social media and all that stuff

216
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: like shit got real. So I don't know when or

217
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: where it's coming or how it's coming or whatever. But

218
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean, besides that, Dave actually has taken over his

219
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: his town. I got to commend him, like he has

220
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: the resources and the governor's blessing to.

221
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 6: You know, Ohio is very important.

222
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 5: Another and you know the another is that I was asking,

223
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 5: especially in the election, it's very important.

224
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's yeah, he's you know, he has medical

225
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: people and standby, he's testing, testing his audience, testing his guests.

226
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 3: And then once you do that, I mean you just yeah,

227
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 3: it's it's rather incredible. Well that is nice for me

228
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 3: to go back a third time. But I.

229
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 5: Also do hope that y'all figure out some other things

230
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 5: to do, like some things like similar to what Lebron

231
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 5: is doing. I know everybody doesn't have Lebron money, but

232
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 5: on some levels of opening up stadiums and figuring out

233
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 5: how we're going to get people out to vote and

234
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 5: whatnot comfortable places and say spaces.

235
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 6: Anything that could help the cause.

236
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying outside of just some good conversation,

237
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 5: but I appreciate the conversation as well.

238
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 3: Well. All I can do on mine and is raised money.

239
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 6: So all I can do is tell you, you tell them,

240
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 6: and then you know, working out.

241
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm certain that that's on his mind. I mean

242
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: that that's been discussed. I don't know what his direct

243
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: plans are for November, but you know, right now I'm

244
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: a member of team. When we all vote, we're registering

245
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: about thirty seven thousand.

246
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 3: People every night. DJ S.

247
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 6: That's good.

248
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, just trying to is the mystic.

249
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 5: We can win as long as we keep our heads

250
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 5: to this guy. This whole renewed sense of optimism is

251
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 5: what I feel.

252
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: Yes, No, I do have optimism. What I'm what I'm

253
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: more worried about. I mean, i'd be lying if I

254
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: didn't say that I was. I wasn't worried about the

255
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: transition period like November.

256
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 10: I'm actually getting out from November January.

257
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: Win or lose, like you know, he wins, Yeah, November

258
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: to January as hell for the next four years as hell,

259
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: but lose you know, who knows what that transition will

260
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: be like for those three months borderline hoping that he.

261
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 3: I predict that he's going to.

262
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: I realized you can lose the presidency if you remove

263
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: the goalposts of the election day. So if he moves

264
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: the election day, then instantly Pelosi becomes president. And so

265
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: I think in his head it's like I'd rather be

266
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: removed than lose, right, So.

267
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 6: That's going to be another that's another theory.

268
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: Oh my god, saying that he yeah, he'll plan it

269
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: as crats forced me out and like, so that's what

270
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm hoping for. But you know, of course that they

271
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: followed the law, but they've been lost nine of the time,

272
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: so they.

327
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,240

Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not proud of that.

343
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 10: I'm I think we all have one of those poles

344
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 10: with that pole because when you're deeping, exactly what you do, right.

345
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 4: I was doing my time where I was really fighting

346
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 4: against taking photos at the piano. Every time I took

347
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 4: photos at the piano. I was like, that's corny. I

348
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 4: want to be away from the piano. And that was

349
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 4: during the time I was like, nah, I wanted to

350
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 4: do other stuff and I didn't know what to do,

351
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 4: and it was weird this this, I was like this, right?

352
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: Is that one photographers suggesting the piano to you is

353
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: like photographers telling the roots, we gotta go out to

354
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: the forest to take photos.

355
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: That's what I have an idea, go out to the forest.

356
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 4: Or put shackles on your feet, one of the.

357
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 3: Two roots exactly.

358
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 2: Take your picture next to Alex Haley.

359
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 3: Where are you right now?

360
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 4: Robert I'm in l A.

361
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 3: I'm at the l A spot.

362
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 6: That's right, he one of us.

363
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 3: Now you live out in LA right now? Yep?

364
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well I've always had an LA spot in New

365
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 4: York spot. But now I'm just here in LA for

366
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 4: a long period of time, So I'm pretty much I'm

367
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 4: pretty much here. I think I'm gonna call this home.

368
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 3: How long have you lived out there? I had this place.

369
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 4: Here for about four years, but I've never really spent

370
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 4: you know, you come in for a week here and

371
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 4: you know, but now I'm like staying here, you know.

372
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: So see, I always I always thought there was a stigma. Well,

373
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, you are a serious musician, and I always

374
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: thought that LA had a stigma on serious musicians, Like

375
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: there's always been this cloud of sort of pretentiousness with

376
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: LA session musicians and LA jazz musicians, at least in

377
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: the sixties, seventies, eighties, and nineties. I don't know if

378
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: it's still yeah, it has held over or not, but

379
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: you know.

380
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't when I'm out here, I'm not

381
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 4: being a musician. Okay, when I'm out here, I'm producing.

382
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 4: I'm going a film film, I'm scoring films. You know

383
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 4: what I mean, like I always say, New York is

384
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 4: where you learn how to play, and then LA is

385
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 4: where you make money.

386
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 5: So that's why I'm out here one.

387
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 4: You know, I'm actually long overdue being here in LA really,

388
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. I should have been here

389
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 4: ten years ago. Yeah, yeah, man, just for the opportunities

390
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 4: of what I want to do, because I'm not trying

391
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 4: to be the best jazz piano player in the world anymore.

392
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 4: That's what I've moved to New York to do. When

393
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 4: I was the high school, I said, I'm going to

394
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 4: New York. I'm gonna be the best jazz piano player.

395
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 4: And it was all about that, all about bigger musician years.

396
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 3: We were there already. I'm over that, yeah man, you were.

397
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 3: Now you want to work.

398
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 4: I want to work out.

399
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, But that's what it's supposed to be, though, That's

400
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 10: how it's supposed to be. I had like a og

401
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 10: tell me, like, you know, the first part of your

402
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 10: career it's about becoming the best, right, Yeah. But then

403
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 10: after a while it's like Nigga got to put myself

404
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 10: in the position to make the most money boom exactly.

405
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,479
Speaker 5: Let me ask, as a fan, does that mean that

406
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 5: you've done everything you wanted to do musically, like are

407
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 5: your music goals or.

408
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no, no no. I put myself in

409
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 4: a position where I can always go back and do that.

410
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 4: You know, I can always make records. I don't have

411
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 4: to do the New York grind anymore. I don't have

412
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 4: to be in New York and beat play the clubs

413
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 4: and play the gigs, you know what I mean. I

414
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 4: can go to New York and play my show when

415
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 4: I want to play my shows and stuff like that

416
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 4: while I'm out here also doing film scores and all

417
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 4: that stuff.

418
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 5: You know, that's why you strategized and did those those

419
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 5: that when you had a whole residency in New York

420
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 5: right before you left them, right, that was brilliant.

421
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 3: That worked worked out. So that's all I got to do.

422
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 3: Every year.

423
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 4: I go to New York and stay one month and

424
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 4: do all my shows.

425
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,480

509
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 10: recor straight. Look, we in the goddamn pandemic. I don't

510

511
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 2: I have learn.

512
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 10: Let me look, I'm a baking cliff. I'm in a

513
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 10: space where I have to learn. The first like three

514
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 10: four months of this ship was just like what the

515
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 10: fuck right? So I had to learn how to create

516
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 10: in this space. I knew how to create in the

517
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 10: old world when we was out torn and moving around

518
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 10: and bumping into each other and all that shit.

519
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 2: I know how to feel that creative tank.

520
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 10: I had to learn how to feel that creative tank

521
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 10: in a space where we can't go no fucking where.

522
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 10: So now I'm waking up again. I'm kind of finding it,

523
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 10: you know what I mean. I'm kind of finding my

524
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 10: voice again. So now to everyone, to Robert Glass and everyone, now, yes,

525
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 10: there's a big possibility I'll probably be on black radio

526
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 10: now because I know how to create I'm kind of

527
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 10: finding my voice now. But to me, he was like, yeah, man,

528
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 10: I got this joint send it. I'm like, Nigga, just

00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 4: Too?

531
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 9: Literally, oh my, it was like months ago.

532
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had to log into an app to watch

533
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 2: a funeral. Nigga. This is we're right now. Yeah, yeah

534
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: that might be there was up.

535
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: Okay, this might be my old age, but I'm under

536
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: the impression that you actually invented or pioneered d I

537
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: wyness when it comes. I know, you have an apple

538
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: on your phone that you do the vocals on and

539
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: then you just be sitting it the motherfuckers.

540
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

541
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 10: I mean when me and Nick did foreign exchange, yeah,

542
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 10: that was kind of the first, you know in terms

543
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 10: of I mean it was us doing it, and then

544
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 10: I think before that it was the postal service with

545
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 10: your boy from Deaf Cab, but they were actually sending

546
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 10: it through the mail.

547
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 2: We were sending it just you know, through I am.

548
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,719
Speaker 10: But even with then, I mean, that was still at

549
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 10: the time where you know the world was open, like

550
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 10: we were going out, I was going to doing shows

551
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,479
Speaker 10: and whatever. So the thing about now is just creating

552
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 10: in this where I think people are having most of

553
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 10: the artists, my homies. I talked to the thing that

554
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 10: the kind of prevalent feeling is that we're still being

555
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 10: held accountable, or we're still being held we're still accountable

556
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 10: for the same we're still under the same pressure, but

557
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 10: we no longer have those things we were able to

558
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 10: do to release that pressure exact.

559
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 2: So it's like you motherfucker still won't meet it.

560
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 10: Damn rapidy rap rapidly saying and do all this ship,

613
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 4: a studio right behind my house right here, like literally

614
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 4: ten steps away. There's a one apartment behind my crib

615
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 4: and my landlord moved out of there and we took

616
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 4: it over and made it the studio. So we'll be

617
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 4: finished with that in like two three weeks. So that'll

618

00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 4: It's no neighbor. The way it is. My landlord had it.

622
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 4: My landlord had it built by some people from our church.

623
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 4: It's like all sement and it stands with its own

624
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,600

00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yep, you know this is we we've known

628
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: each other for the longest, but we really have never

629
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: had an in depth conversation. And what I always no, no,

630
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: But the thing I was always curious about was that

631
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it's same way that Philadelphia had its

632
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: renaissance in two thousand.

633
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I felt that Houston.

634
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: Had that same renaissance in two thousand and six, two

635
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: thousand and seven, you know with all these musicians who

636
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: at the time, like what was going on in your

637
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: high school? With all these musicians that were thinking left

638
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: of center? Like what was what was in the air,

639
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: like what was going on?

640
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,239
Speaker 4: So the cool thing about my high school, which you

641
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 4: know art high school, is because you went to one

642
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 4: of the best ones in Philly.

643
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 3: So you went to perform in art high school.

644
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 4: I want to perform at ours high school in Houston

645
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 4: High School for performing arts. And the cool thing about

646
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 4: my high school, which I think we might be the

647
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 4: only high school that did this.

648
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure.

649
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 4: Or maybe not. You can tell me if y'all did this.

650
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 4: My jazz director and not even just the jazz director,

651
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 4: in all the art areas, they hired teachers that didn't

652
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 4: have degrees. Wow. So our jazz cats that were teachers

653
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:47,719
Speaker 4: were just cats.

654
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 2: Wow.

655
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, they didn't have degrees.

656
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 3: They did this by design or purpose or yes.

657
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 4: Because the motherfuckers that have to degrees most of the time,

658
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 4: you know. But the cats that the cats they're just playing.

659
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 4: They out there playing. So they was coming to the

660
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 4: school showing us was hip right now because they're out

661
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 4: there playing right now. So the cats that was over

662
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 4: our jazz, our jazz classes, our jazz professor, doctor Morgan

663
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 4: had a degree, but he made it so he would

664
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 4: just hire different and sometimes we would see one dude

665
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 4: for three months, never see him again. But he was dope. Yeah,

666
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 4: but it was dope. And one of the cool things

667
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 4: about US school also is we had a class period

668
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 4: called listening.

669
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 3: You didn't play.

670
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 4: You came in and we had a CD player and

671
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 4: everybody in the class could bring anything they wanted to

672
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 4: and you just sat there and listened.

673
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 3: Damn.

674
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,959
Speaker 4: And part of the problem with a lot of musicians

675
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 4: is they don't listen and they don't know what to

676
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 4: listen to, and they just don't listen, you know what

677
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 4: I mean. And our jazz rector made a class called Listen.

678
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 4: I would bring stuff. It could be gospel, it could

679
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 4: be anything, and and and all the cancer bring stuff,

680
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 4: you know, every Mark Kelly, that's Mark about it. You

681
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 4: know it was who did you go to school with?

682
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 4: Like what in my class? In my I went to

683
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,640

Speaker 4: I started playing the Church. I literally started playing cando.

716
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 3: My mom was. My mom was the musa.

717
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 4: Director at church, and she sang in clubs all through

Speaker 4: the week, like of like R and B gaigs and

719
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 4: stuff like that. She was literally like WHOOPI Goldberg my

720
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 4: sister at all that. And then on Sundays did she

721
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 4: have a group. Yes, her and my stepdad had the group.

722
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: They were literally like seafists and recip ex absolutely hilarious.

723
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 4: Oh wow, the early eighties, the curls, the colors so

724
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 4: for real. But but but on Sundays my mom was

725
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 4: in minister of music. I had a small church, you know,

726
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 4: so they allowed me to play the little broke ass

727
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 4: organ that was in the corner. So I used to

728
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 4: play every Sunday the pastor whose birthday is it? And

729
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 4: when I was eleven, I was playing with one finger,

730
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 4: happy birthday. I figured out how happy birthday with one finger.

731
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 4: And then they just let me every Sunday, just let

732
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 4: me sit there and to figure the service out. I

733
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 4: started playing Luther Van songs with one finger because my

734
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 4: dad played with the bandjoff to the house every day.

735
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 2: All the time. And so I was learning all.

736
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 4: That kind of songs and just and then I just

737
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 4: I really taught. I really taught myself. Yeah, and then

738
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 4: I just you know, and then at age like yeah,

739
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:12,479
Speaker 4: maybe age fourteen, that's when I know what's tenth tenth grade,

740
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 4: I don't know, tenth grade is whatever I auditioned with.

741
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 4: I auditioned with three gospel songsu I didn't know any

742
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 4: jazz tuns. So there was no guidance.

743
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 5: But up from beginnings of church to the fifteen there

744
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 5: was nobody got no guidance, nobody to say, but this

745
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 5: is how you really do this?

746
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 4: Well, See, my mom had a band, and in her

747
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 4: band there was a piano piano player, naed Alan Mosley

748
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 4: that nobody knows, one of them cats from your hometown.

749
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 3: That was drunk but was really good. And you know

750
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 3: he's a legend. You never see him.

751
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 4: So I used to sit next to him on the

752
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 4: piano eventure and they would have rehearsals because we had

753
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 4: rehearsals at our crib. We had pianos and a have

754
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 4: rehearsals the cribs. I would sit there and watch them.

755
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 4: So the only song I played at my audition that

756
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 4: was jazzy was he taught me how to play the

757
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 4: Spider Man theme in in in the form of a

758
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 4: seam mind of blues. So he taught me how to

759
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 4: walk the baseline boom boom boom boom boo boom.

760
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 3: Boom boo boom.

761
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 4: So that's what I did that and I did three

762
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 4: gospel songs and then I.

763
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,919
Speaker 3: Got in Wait.

764
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 13: Speaking of which, wait, Robert, you remember that time I

765
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,480

766
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 13: is the most the most devastating gig of my life

767
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 13: was Robert.

768
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 3: As a joke.

769
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: You know, I think Robert says, I'm gonna sneak the

770
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: Smurts theme into this jay Z song, all right.

771
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 2: So it was one of them.

772
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 3: This is one of them. It was all right.

773
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: So me and Robert Glasper were we were like, uh,

774
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: paying tribute to jay Z at one of these like

775
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 1: you know, twenty five thousand dollars plate banquet spots. And

776
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: at the last minute I told Glassper, I said, yo, like,

777
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, do something like really uh, you know, a

778
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: high class for these people, like, you know, make it

779
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: sound like classical stuff. And he gets at the piano

780
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: and starts off like you know, you know, like Alicia

781
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: Keys first came out playing for a lease.

782
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 3: You think of like some deep ship. So Robert goes.

783
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 1: And the audience like Mariah Carey, Yoka Owner, Everyone's looking,

784

Speaker 3: For two weeks.

916
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: You know, so like basically they were they were the

917
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: young lions of my generation. But the thing was is

918
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: that they were following traditional jazz right And obviously, I

919
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: guess my introduction to.

920
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 3: Your world was via Balau.

921
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:04,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, and hearing Bloud break every rule

922
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: of what song structure was, and I'm wondering, well, okay,

923
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: and I asked. I was like, well, who's the who's

924
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: the music version of you? Like who else is breaking

925
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,720
Speaker 1: the rules? And then I met all of you guys

926
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:25,240
Speaker 1: in a month or so, and I just never seen

927
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 1: because I knew you guys were seen as jazz musicians.

928
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: But I was always wondering if whether or not you

929
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:36,439
Speaker 1: get embraced by the jazz community, like would they let

930
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:40,720
Speaker 1: you play in reindeer games? Because you guys were looking

931
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: at the rule books and sort of just throwing it

932
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: out the window, like.

933
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 3: Did you have to master it?

934
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 1: Like did you have to sneak in the house first

935
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: and sort of talk their language and d and then

936
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: hold them hostage once you at your power?

937
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 3: Like about that process.

938
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 4: And you do that to that I'll tell you why.

939
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 4: I'll tell you why because when I got to the

940
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 4: New School in ninety seven for college, Yeah, I met

941
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 4: Balal the first day of school. And we were like

949
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:37,040

950
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 4: called me and Balao on stage at random together to

951
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:41,720

957
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 4: got off the stage. We looked at each other like, yeah,

958
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 4: well do they give you a fake book? At least

959
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 4: they're like what do you no, you just call tunes

960
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 4: nopeposed to it? Yeah, Or you talk to each other

961
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 4: and be like, you know this, now you know this,

962
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 4: I don't know kind of you know, just like like

963
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 4: you do at a jazz club.

964
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 3: Now you know so and so. I think, so you

965
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 3: figure it.

966
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 4: Out, but whatever, remember what it was. I have no

967
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 4: idea what it was. But when we got off me

968
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 4: and we we were you know, you couldn't separate us

969
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:29,240
Speaker 4: after that because it was like, you know, he spoke

970
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 4: a different language immediately, And so we began working on

971
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 4: stuff together and one of the president of the school

972
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 4: at the time, Arnie Lawrence, he passed away. He saw

973
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 4: us and was like, you two have something. Y'all should

974
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 4: go in and work on a demo for Balave and

975
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 4: we were like, okay. So he said, my friend has

976
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 4: a studio around the corner. Y'all can I talked to

977
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 4: him already, y'all can go over there and kind of

978
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 4: come up with some stuff. And his boy was Aaron

979
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 4: colemas As spend doctors.

980
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 3: Fucking spin doctors. They believe this story.

981
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: When told me, I'm like, who were doing this?

982
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 4: And I was like what, Yeah. So we were going

983
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 4: over there after school every day just writing songs and yeah,

984
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 4: a bunch of just jazz music is are on the

985
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 4: album because we didn't know anybody that played anything else.

986
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 4: We just knew the cats from the school. So that

987
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 4: was Queen of Sanity the demo. Yeah, yes, Penny Sanity. Yeah,

988
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 4: and y'all came just right. You and James came in

989
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,760
Speaker 4: there and redid it. Yeah, we did the drums.

990
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was essentially when I when I heard that demo, Man,

991
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: I you know again, I'm I'm happy to say.

992
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:48,720
Speaker 14: That my my my one record of the six demos

993
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 14: I ever heard and listened to and became fans of,

994
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 14: like they all became like something in the world of course,

995
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 14: you know, Little Brothers, Jill Scott, Slum Village.

996
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: But hearing that BELOWD demo, I don't know how it

997
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: came across. I don't know who played it for me whatever,

998
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: but I just I thought, this person.

999
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:19,720
Speaker 9: I remember you being about.

1000
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 3: Yeah much much of my detriment.

1001
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: If there's ever a recapping of the kind of Black

1002
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:33,240
Speaker 1: Lily Roots Jam session story like in oral history or whatever, uh,

1003
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: my enthusiasm for wanting to work with Blaw definitely made

1004
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: Moan to Fuckers feel a certain way where because I

1005
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,439
Speaker 1: mean basically every everyone had a job at this thing,

1006
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: and it was more like, Okay, I'm the money, you know,

1007
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: like so tour money back to the system, back to

1008
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: the you know, and I would make appearances every now

1009
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: and then, but it's like after working on you know,

1010
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: the stuff an Electric Lady and then coming back to

1011
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 1: do root stuff like I wasn't trying to like also

1012
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,280
Speaker 1: do five hours at these jam sessions.

1013
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 3: But here in below sing man, I was just like,

1014
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 3: all right, I'll come. Yeah, yeah, so you know, just.

1015
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 4: Ye and those those jam sessions so blow. So we

1016
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 4: started working on the demo whatever, and me and him

1017
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 4: used to get on a bus from school and go

1018
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,160

00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 4: and go we go stay at his mom's house in Germantown.

1021
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 4: That was my first times ever going to Philly. Just

1022
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 4: a week go to those jam sessions. And then y'all

1023
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,359
Speaker 4: started coming to doing the ones at Lake Street.

1024
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: Yeah on a at uh which the theme is the

1025
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,720
Speaker 1: spot uh Wetlands Wetlands.

1026
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,439
Speaker 4: So seeing y'all play live. But I was always trying

1027
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 4: to get me to understand how to play y'all ship,

1028
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 4: and I didn't understand what the fuck he was talking about.

1029
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 4: He's like, you no, like you know, like, don't play

1030
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 4: it on, play it off? What like you know how

1031
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 4: to play, but you don't know how to play. What

1032
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 4: the are you talking about? No, nigga like like, and

1033
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 4: then I saw y'all live. And I saw James Poyser

1034
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 4: and I was like, so that made me. I kept

1035
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 4: going back, and then he would let me sit in

1036
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 4: with you. Yo, you would let me sit in you know.

1037
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 4: I was like, I was like, oh, I was jazz

1038
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 4: bread and I would sit in with y'all. And because

1039
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 4: of sitting in with you with the roots, that's how

1040
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 4: I learned how to play that ship. I didn't I

1041
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 4: never heard it. I didn't understand what it was.

1042
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 1: That's so weird to me because in my mind, you

1043
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:43,720
Speaker 1: and all your Hustonians just have another relationship with time,

1044
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:50,359
Speaker 1: with with meter in time that is beyond anything I've

1045
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: done or you know, dare I say at Dyla or whatever,

1046
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: like I I just I'd never seen. I mean, it's

1047
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: like watching the animaniacs in the water tower, Like you

1048
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 1: know when you see them running and help the smooth.

1049
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: That's a crazy analogy, like.

1050
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 3: That's what I mean.

1051
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: Like, but what I want to know is how did

1052
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: you force the jazz world to your will? Because I

1053
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 1: don't think that's I don't think that's an easy it's

1054
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 1: not task like that's that's what.

1055
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,399
Speaker 4: Well, here's the thing I always knew that I had

1056
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 4: to make sure that I could play jazz with the

1057
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 4: best of them before I decided to do anything else,

1058
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 4: you know what I mean.

1059
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 3: I had to Like.

1060
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:43,919
Speaker 4: When Herbie played with Miles put his first few albums out,

1061
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,760
Speaker 4: there was no you couldn't question Herb about ship, about

1062
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:51,439
Speaker 4: can you play that? All that? That was always Soil five.

1063
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 4: There's no argument there. So when he did Headhunters, you

1064
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 4: cannot like it if you want to, but you can't

1065
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 4: dispute him as a jazz artist, you know what I mean,

1066
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 4: as a jazz piano player, especially being black, they're so

1067
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 4: quick to want to call you a hip hop piano

1068
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 4: player or R and B player. They're really quick to

1069
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 4: not want to give you the title of that. So

1070
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 4: it was it was in my mind I was like,

1071
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 4: well no, even when I before I got signed, I said,

1072
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 4: in my mind I knew I was I want to

1073
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 4: do a few jazz albums first to shut these motherfuckers

1074
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 4: up who are gonna be talking? And then I want

1075
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:25,359
Speaker 4: to do my other ship.

1076
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 3: You know.

1077
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 10: It was almost like it reminded me of like the

1078
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 10: like Donald Bird. That's how I always kind of saw

1079
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 10: your career is like, yeah, Donald Bird, But then you know,

1080
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 10: he did his thing, but then when he got with

1081
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:39,800
Speaker 10: the Moselle Brothers, Yep, it just became you know something.

1082
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, exactly exactly, and that's my thing. I

1083
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 4: wanted to make sure. So then when that happened, my

1084
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 4: thing was just grabbing all the young people because I

1085
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 4: felt like jazz for young people anymore. And what made

1086
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 4: what made me get into jazz was Roy. Roy came

1087
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 4: to my Roy Roy came to my school and when

1088
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 4: I was in eleventh grade, I'll never forget it. He

1089
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 4: went there too, right, No, he went to the one,

1090
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 4: and he in Dallas with Erica. He went to the

1091
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 4: He went to Washington, Yeah, Norah Jones and the whole thing.

1092
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 4: So that was our rival. We rivaled them off time

1093
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 4: for all state jazz competitions and shit. So when Roy

1094
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 4: came to our school when I was in eleventh grade,

1095
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 4: he was already Warhard Grove album. So he came to

1096
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 4: the school and he had on like overalls and Tim's

1097
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,320
Speaker 4: you know, and his band was black.

1098
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 3: I never seen that.

1099
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 4: I've never seen five young black guys that looked like me,

1100
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:41,240
Speaker 4: dressed like me, talk like me up there playing jazz.

1101
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 3: That's never you never seen that.

1102
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 4: Because when you're in school, the pictures of jazz is

1103
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:47,479
Speaker 4: what they give you, and it's all in black and white,

1104
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 4: and it's everybody has them a suit and it's not

1105
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 4: you know, it's nothing. It's nothing that has anything to

1106
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:53,800
Speaker 4: do with you right now.

1107
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 3: You know.

1108
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 4: So Roy made he completely changed my whole ship. So

1109
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 4: that's literally why I am the way I am now

1110
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 4: because I feel like I'm killing the stereotype, you know

1111
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 4: what I mean. I feel like when people look at

1112
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 4: me a lot of times, they don't know they you

1113
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 4: don't know what the fuck I do, you know what

1114
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 4: I mean? And when I was, you know, selling out

1115
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 4: the Blue Note and the Vanguard and all these places,

1116
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 4: white people will walk by me. I would be outside

1117
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 4: hang on my friend. They walk by me looking at

1118
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 4: me like what are you doing here? I'm like, well,

1119
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 4: actually come out right, you know. But them people on

1120
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 4: the bus, and a lot of that is like, you know,

1121
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 4: they don't know. They come to New York and get

1122
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 4: on the bus and they take you to where somebody

1123
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 4: famous is playing, you know what I mean. But they

1124
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 4: look at me and my je's and my T shirt

1125
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 4: and it's like, oh, we if I was walking down

1126
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 4: the street you think I'm a rapper or you think

1127
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 4: I'm whatever.

1128
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

1129
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 4: Don't think I'm about to hear and play still up

1130
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 4: by Starlight or actually play this piano the way I do,

1131
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. And that's what I got,

1132
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 4: literally got that from Roy and that's what made kids.

1133
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 4: He inspired me so much because he looked like me.

1134
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 4: So I was like, that's what I want to do,

1135
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, I want to inspire the

1136
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 4: young cat. So I think when it came to the

1137
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 4: jazz world, I just ignored them and really went for

1138
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 4: the young people, you know what I mean, but still

1139
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 4: keeping the integrity of jazz, but making it to something

1140
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 4: where they could identify with, you know what I mean.

1141
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 4: And that's a while the Jazz war couldn't deny it anymore.

1142
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 4: They tried to.

1143
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 10: I think you have to do that though, because I think,

1144
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 10: you know, even like in all forms of music, you

1145
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 10: have to kind of, if not necessarily, appeal to the

1146
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 10: young people. You at least have to know how to

1147
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 10: communicate with them because they're the ones that's coming next.

1148
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 10: So if you want your thing to live on, you

1149
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 10: gotta get the youngins so they can be it on,

1150
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 10: you know what I mean.

1151
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 6: Rapper in that conversation to like in a way where

1152
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 6: like his projects.

1153
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 3: I was going to ask kind I was going to ask.

1154
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:50,320

00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 4: Turncoat on you, nigga hold on, Branford, put put me out. Look,

1162
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 4: this happened maybe two years two years ago, maybe three

1163
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 4: years ago. Two years ago he did a uh he

1164
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:29,479
Speaker 4: did an interview for one of them jazz magazine, maybe

1165
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 4: down Beat or something like that, And in the middle

1166
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 4: of the interview, they were like, so, Branford, what do

1167
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 4: you think about what people like Robert Glasper and Camassie

1168
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 4: Washington are doing? You know you did, but shot Lafunk.

1169
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 4: What do you think about Robert Glasper's doing? He said, well,

1170
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 4: you know, Jack Camosi, he's not a jazz he's not

1171
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 4: a jazz saxophone player. Just do him all the way over.

1172
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 4: Then he said and Robert. I mean, I'm glad he's

1173
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 4: doing what he's doing because he's he has delimited jazz

1174
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 4: vocabulary also, and then you ask him, he'll tell you

1175
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 4: the same thing. Those were literally his words, SI, Robert.

1176
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 3: Do you have a limited jazz?

1177
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 4: Like?

1178
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 1: What?

1179
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 3: Who?

1180
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 9: Heartbroken?

1181
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 4: What are you talking about?

1182
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 3: What are you talking about?

1183
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 9: Do you not know who you are?

1184
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 3: So?

1185
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 10: So for the listener, if you have a limited jazz vocabulary,

1186
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 10: who hasn't unlimited?

1187
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 4: Who is that?

1188
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:32,439
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1189
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 4: That was like, come on bro, like that now you're now?

1190
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 4: That was that was That's reckless. That's reckless. That's like

1191
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,920
Speaker 4: you know he they didn't even ask him that. That

1192
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 4: wasn't even the question. He didn't ask do you think

1193
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 4: they're jazz musicians? Or do you think what they're doing jazz?

1194
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 4: They said you did bust shot lafunk. So they were

1195
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 4: literally speaking to crossing over ye And he took that time,

1196
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 4: took that little platform to put us down. Instead of

1197
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 4: being I'm like, oh well, ship Robert Glass with Black Radio.

1198
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 4: That's doing that's great. I'm happy, but something used to

1199
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 4: don't use that platform to shoot down the two top

1200
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 4: black instrumental jazz musicians that you know what I mean,

1201
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 4: why would you do that?

1202
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 1: Come on, brove, Frank McCombe, what do you think is required?

1203
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 3: I mean, you know every genre has there and they

1204
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 3: were disrespecting Branford. You know, just there's always the grumpy will.

1205
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 4: Go out Branford.

1206
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 3: I know he did that.

1207
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 2: I love him, y'all. Have you have you seen him?

1208
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 2: Y'all ran into each other.

1209
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 4: No, but before he said that, I ran to him

1210
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 4: at the club. But we had dreams he was playing.

1211
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 4: I went to see him play. I had had a

1212
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 4: night off in Seattle. He was playing. Me and Chris

1213
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 4: and a few other people went down there hung out.

1214
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 4: I'll always shown Brandford love. He's always actually shown him.

1215
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 4: We've been cool every time I see him. You know

1216
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. But I just felt like, why not.

1217
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 2: If you was gonna say that, you could have said

1218
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 2: that to my face.

1219
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 4: You could have been said that to my face, bro

1220
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 4: no matter. In fact, I saw him at International Jazz Day.

1221
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 4: I saw me the National Jazz Day in Russia maybe

1222
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 4: two years ago something, and that, oh you know what,

1223
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 4: and we had a little oh you know, it's.

1224
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 15: All coming the National Jazz you know, you know that

1225
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 15: is like they they bring in a bunch of jazz

1226
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 15: musicians and and and they put it.

1227
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 4: They put you in a different country every year and

1228
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 4: to promote jazz, you know, and you do a concert

1229
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 4: together and they break you up a little groups and

1230
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 4: you do like one song. So we did the International

1231
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 4: Jazz Day thing and me and Brandford backstage is somebody

1232
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:39,919
Speaker 4: came up and was like, so, what do y'all think?

1233
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 4: What makes jazz jazz? And we're talking about it, you know,

1234
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 4: and Brandford said, the space between the quarter notes. Okay,

1235
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:55,919
Speaker 4: I was like, before it sounds what do you mean

1236
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 4: the space between the like literally the space between the

1237
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 4: quarter notes, like the space between us. So I was

1238
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 4: like the space between the court. So literally it's a

1239
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 4: mathematical thing, like if you do this space with this

1240
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 4: space recording, does that's We kind of got into a

1241
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 4: think about it because the answer he gave was like,

1242
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 4: come on, bro, like it sounds it sounded like witting.

1243
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 4: I mean, no one has the true aunt like the no,

1244
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 4: we don't.

1245
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: But there's nerds like me that wanted a scientific definition,

1246
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: and there's creatives like you that you know that will

1247
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: never have the right answer or whatever, Like I don't

1248
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 1: think any creative truly knows what the definition of what

1249
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 1: makes their art form tick.

1250
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 2: You know, yeah.

1251
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:42,080
Speaker 4: Right, But then but we're having to just a discussion

1252
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 4: and I'm like, yo, we start talking about tunes. I said,

1253
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 4: so because this is not swing. We're talking about talking

1254
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 4: aout yet symbol everything. And it was like, so you're

1255
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:52,840
Speaker 4: you're you're now defining a whole genre by a rhythm.

1256
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 4: So because it doesn't ting to day and ten today,

1257
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 4: it's not jazz. So what's red clay And he was like,

1264
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 4: I just suspected something different. I expect a different answer.

01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:51,360

01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 6: Yo.

1401
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:55,000
Speaker 4: You well look, I'm here, I'm serious. I thought about

1402
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 4: this the other day. I was like, wouldn't it be.

1403
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, the government.

1404
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 4: I thought about that though, would if would if we

1405
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:16,760
Speaker 4: got her on Black Radio three.

1406
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,600
Speaker 1: Look man, it's twenty twenty and we're running out of

1407
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 1: space on our Bengo cards.

1408
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 4: You produced it?

1409
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:23,839
Speaker 3: What happened?

1410
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 4: You produce it?

1411
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:28,559
Speaker 3: Listen? That would be crazy, bro, it.

1412
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 9: Was y'all come up with your idea.

1413
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:32,640
Speaker 4: I'm down for it, yo, in a silly way, in

1414
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 4: a silly, weird way. I feel like there's a possibility

1415
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 4: it could possibly happen. I think it'd be dope. So

1416
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 4: because as an artist, I have nothing against her. She's

1417
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 4: fucking looking credible.

1418
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:44,720
Speaker 9: You might have to extend your due date, but I

1419
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 9: think it could happen.

1420
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 4: That'll be Yeah, it'll definitely. It probably won't come out

1421
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:52,760
Speaker 4: to a Black Radio nineteen, but it'll be.

1422
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:55,640
Speaker 3: Back to the theme of the show and.

1423
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:05,760
Speaker 5: As you're gonna be tround.

1424
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 4: Renewed optimism.

1425
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 9: No, it's gonna get done, noh, mirreor it's gonna get done.

1427
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:20,559
Speaker 1: energy and whatnot.

1428
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:22,519
Speaker 3: Yes, we're gonna make it happen.

1429
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:26,200
Speaker 1: I would love it, I will say, Lauren Hill, we

Speaker 6: Yeah.

1432
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 1: I think the better the world was better with our

1433
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 1: artistic contributions. It's needed in the world right now.

1434
01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:40,200
Speaker 3: So actually, really is it really is?

1435
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:45,720
Speaker 2: All right? So questions while we on optimism on the

1436
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 2: Lauren jail. Yeah, oh, I mean, if I'm still aloud, I.

1437
01:12:53,920 --> 01:13:09,840
Speaker 10: Got sixteen for you. Okay, ask question Brandy, and I

1438
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 10: want to ask you specifically, what is it like tracking

1439
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 10: her in the studio, tracking her vocals?

1440
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:23,000
Speaker 4: Brandy might be the illest tracker I've ever seen. It's incredible, bro,

1441
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 4: I've never seen nobody phase himself out.

1442
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:28,160
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you about that. I saw another interview.

1443
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:30,719
Speaker 4: Three times in one in in the in the middle

1444
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 4: of doing optimistic, she phased herself out three times.

1445
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 3: That's how on top of her vocal she is with.

1446
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,800
Speaker 4: That's how her vocal she is when she stats her

1447
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 4: ship is so exactly alike that she fakes the computer

1448
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:46,720
Speaker 4: out and it makes you think you're doing the same

1449
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 4: the track again or some ship.

1450
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 10: You're not.

1451
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

1452
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:51,479
Speaker 4: Because most people, when you read, when you sing something

1453
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:53,439
Speaker 4: else and you sing it again, sing it again, let's

1454
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 4: stack it, there's always something different.

1455
01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 2: It's always an imperfection, something and something.

1456
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,639
Speaker 4: She's so dead on that shit. Phased the funk out

1457
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:05,639
Speaker 4: three times, from the bread, from the breathing, from when

1458
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:08,440
Speaker 4: she cut it off where the vibradis stop like everything

1459
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,240
Speaker 4: is incredible, and she don't leave the booth to the

1460
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:13,960
Speaker 4: fucking shit's done. It ain't like she come out and

1461
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,760
Speaker 4: listen and vibe. She's like no, and she won't stop

1462
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:19,040
Speaker 4: with the ideas. You have to stop her. No Brandy,

1463
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 4: no more vocal, no more stats, no harmony. Yeah, and

1464
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:27,200
Speaker 4: she wants to get it. She's so enthusiastic about getting

1465
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:30,479
Speaker 4: it right and just wanting to try more and more ideas.

1466
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 4: She's not a lazy singer at all. You know what

1467
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 4: I mean, Like, it's incredible work with her. Man, she

1468
01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:38,560
Speaker 4: has to be one of the nicest too, you know

1469
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:40,800
Speaker 4: what I mean. Like even when I did when she

1470
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 4: was on my Black Radio album before that, she paid

1471
01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 4: for the studio time because she was late the other

1472
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:49,559
Speaker 4: time or something like that. She couldn't make it, and

1473
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:52,120
Speaker 4: she was like, yo, she paid for the studio time

1474
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:53,519
Speaker 4: and she you know what I mean, I didn't even

1475
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 4: know where back then. You know, she's just this is

1476
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:57,679
Speaker 4: such a nice, really really nice person.

1745
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:01,920
Speaker 4: Up for George? For like nine shows Europe? He never

1746
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:08,519
Speaker 4: remembered me after any of the shows. You know, people

1747
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:11,080
Speaker 4: like that, they up to the George, you know, And

1748
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 4: this was back in like I don't know, oh eight

1749
01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:17,240
Speaker 4: oh nine. You know, I was over like three years,

1750
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 4: so you know, I wasn't ship really, you know, so

1751
01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:21,600
Speaker 4: I'm not tripping because he's George dude, you know what

1752
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:24,599
Speaker 4: I mean. But after each show in different cities, I'd

1753
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:26,439
Speaker 4: be like, hey, hey, misster, do how you doing. Man?

1754
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 4: He'd be like hey with that face, and I'd be like,

1755
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:35,400
Speaker 4: I'm a rob. I played key keys early earlier before

1756
01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:39,840
Speaker 4: you start, every and every every night, every night. But

1757
01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:41,600
Speaker 4: you know he ain't coming to the sound, you know,

1758
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:43,600
Speaker 4: to the the shows before him, so you know. But

1759
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:45,639
Speaker 4: then we finally got to connect in a real way

1760
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:48,639
Speaker 4: at International Jazz Day, not that one I talked about,

1761
01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:53,240
Speaker 4: but before, and it was in Turkey and me and

1762
01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:56,200
Speaker 4: him and Herbie like got a chance to hang out

1763
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:58,080
Speaker 4: and sit down and talk and you know what I mean,

1764
01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:00,799
Speaker 4: chop it up and that and that's it. In that situation,

1765
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 4: passed almost he literally passed. I'm not the pair of them,

1766
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:11,240
Speaker 4: but he literally passed a few us. I say, you know,

1767
01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:13,760
Speaker 4: play keys. He knew play keys as far as I got.

1768
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:15,519
Speaker 4: But there he passed a few a few days, a

1769
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:16,800
Speaker 4: few a few months later after that.

1770
01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:26,160
Speaker 3: All right, so who who is the the hero? Figure that?

Speaker 4: Are you gonna say Herbie comes somebody?

1774
01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:34,400
Speaker 5: Herbie was just about to ask you what is it like?

1775
01:29:34,439 --> 01:29:36,839
Speaker 5: Because I mean the last show I went to with yours,

01:29:38,360 --> 01:29:40,280
Speaker 5: about to go take a bathroom break and he was

1778
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 5: I'm half of my feeling for me real quick, and

1779
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:45,519

1784
01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:56,720
Speaker 4: from Miles I think, you know, just like you know,

01:29:56,800 --> 01:29:58,840
Speaker 4: wanting to soak up the younger energy and just be

1786
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:04,200

Speaker 4: hear you wanna? No? No, no, no, you know, just speaking

1796
01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 4: to your point me and Herbie talked maybe two three

1797
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:41,599
Speaker 4: weeks ago. He said, this is the longest time he's

1798
01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:45,720
Speaker 4: ever gone without touching his piano. Oh wow, he said.

1799
01:30:45,720 --> 01:30:47,439
Speaker 3: He's in the same funk. He was like, man, I'm

1800
01:30:47,439 --> 01:30:47,920
Speaker 3: not even that.

1801
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:50,080
Speaker 4: I don't feel like, you know, He's like, I've never

1802
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:54,080
Speaker 4: gone seven months or wherever long it's been when I'm

1803
01:30:54,120 --> 01:30:57,040
Speaker 4: touching my piano. He's like, it's just sitting there. He's like,

1804
01:30:57,080 --> 01:30:58,920
Speaker 4: he's just it's just sitting there, you know.

1805
01:31:00,360 --> 01:31:04,360
Speaker 1: You know, so you gotta take a break, you gotta

1806
01:31:04,400 --> 01:31:06,680
Speaker 1: you gotta take a break and then come back to it.

1807
01:31:07,439 --> 01:31:10,320
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask, I think it's different for keyboard

1808
01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:13,880
Speaker 1: players now because of the the the advanced way that

1809
01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:19,160
Speaker 1: technology moves in your world, Whereas at least with me personally,

1810
01:31:19,240 --> 01:31:24,440
Speaker 1: like I'm not too interested in you know, like new drums,

1811
01:31:24,479 --> 01:31:26,559
Speaker 1: and you know, the company always be like, you know,

1812
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:30,200
Speaker 1: these are special trees that we used in Japan to

1813
01:31:30,240 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 1: make it, you know, And I always tell them like,

1814
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:35,200
Speaker 1: give me the trashy the high school set.

1815
01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:37,879
Speaker 4: It's all in your touch anyway. It's all your touch anyway.

1816
01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 1: Right, So as far as being a are you a

1817
01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:50,200
Speaker 1: gear head or are you just using the same.

1818
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:52,280
Speaker 4: I am not, you know what, because when people were

1819
01:31:52,280 --> 01:31:55,760
Speaker 4: doing gear ship, I was just practicing on being really

1820
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:58,760
Speaker 4: good at the piano, you know what I'm saying. I've

1821
01:31:58,800 --> 01:32:02,559
Speaker 4: never because my whole thing was always acoustic piano. So

1822
01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:06,320
Speaker 4: that's been my thing for such a long time. Even

1823
01:32:06,320 --> 01:32:09,120
Speaker 4: when I got signed a Blue Note piano trio, shit

1824
01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:12,080
Speaker 4: acoustic piano. It wasn't even keyboards. Yeah, I wasn't even

1825
01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:15,240
Speaker 4: using keyboards for a while. They're putting piano acoustic pianos

1826
01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:17,080
Speaker 4: and clubs for me because I didn't want to play

1827
01:32:17,120 --> 01:32:20,160
Speaker 4: jazz clubs anymore. I want to play cool shit hip

1828
01:32:20,200 --> 01:32:22,320
Speaker 4: hop venues and shit like that. And I was trying

1829
01:32:22,320 --> 01:32:24,720
Speaker 4: to get grand pianos in there. So Stein would put

1830
01:32:24,760 --> 01:32:26,439
Speaker 4: pianos in there for me and shit, but a lot

1831
01:32:26,479 --> 01:32:28,679
Speaker 4: of times that sound would be fucked up. It wouldn't

1832
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:30,080
Speaker 4: sound good, you know what I mean. And so I

1833
01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:32,080
Speaker 4: was like, Okay, let me get the key let me

1834
01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:35,040
Speaker 4: do the keyboard thing. But I've never really been a

1835
01:32:35,080 --> 01:32:38,240
Speaker 4: gearhead at all. People think I am for some reason,

1836
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:40,120
Speaker 4: but to me.

1837
01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:42,599
Speaker 10: It always seemed like I think that's the gearhead thing

1838
01:32:42,680 --> 01:32:45,200
Speaker 10: is more so for people who think of themselves as

1839
01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:48,519
Speaker 10: producers first or right, you always kind of seem like.

1840
01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:50,600
Speaker 2: A player, you know, primarily.

1841
01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:53,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm like, know, we need strings. I know a

1842
01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:55,280
Speaker 4: string player that can do that, like we did when

1843
01:32:55,280 --> 01:32:59,479
Speaker 4: we fucking did the twice. You know, AMR wasn't like

1844
01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:03,519
Speaker 4: Gil pull the string sounds. He called some cellos and violence,

1845
01:33:03,680 --> 01:33:05,439
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. We know those guys. We

1846
01:33:05,439 --> 01:33:08,800
Speaker 4: don't need the patch. I know them. I'm always that,

1847
01:33:09,040 --> 01:33:10,640
Speaker 4: you know, and all the patches they're like, but it

1848
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:13,200
Speaker 4: sounds real. This one sounds realer than that one. I'm like,

1849
01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:16,400
Speaker 4: I know, real people, real people, Yeah, I know.

1850
01:33:17,280 --> 01:33:24,960
Speaker 9: I would imagine, now, keep a musician's employed. That's dope.

1851
01:33:25,400 --> 01:33:28,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. And obviously obviously you got to tap into it

1852
01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:32,600
Speaker 4: a little bit because you can't just get musicians like

1853
01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:35,519
Speaker 4: this anymore, especially now. So that's why now I've been

1854
01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:39,160
Speaker 4: even tappingto it, tapping into just sounds and getting all

1855
01:33:39,160 --> 01:33:41,680
Speaker 4: the plug ins and stuff like that, even even if

1856
01:33:41,720 --> 01:33:44,439
Speaker 4: it's for demo demo's sake, you know what I mean,

1857
01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:47,560
Speaker 4: I'll do stuff like that. But I'm just such a

1858
01:33:47,600 --> 01:33:50,400
Speaker 4: live person. That's just my thing, you know.

1859
01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:53,719
Speaker 1: I would imagine, like, you know, I'll say, like maybe

1860
01:33:54,040 --> 01:33:57,760
Speaker 1: what Steve, like once every four months the rolling guy

1861
01:33:57,800 --> 01:33:59,320
Speaker 1: comes in with you toys.

1862
01:33:58,960 --> 01:34:02,000
Speaker 3: And whatnot, and we're like, oh.

1863
01:34:01,880 --> 01:34:05,160
Speaker 1: This is like Christmas all over again. Like I'm certain

1864
01:34:05,240 --> 01:34:10,000
Speaker 1: that every keyboard maker from Yamaha, Toro, like all these

1865
01:34:10,040 --> 01:34:15,320
Speaker 1: guys are like I was off to you try our product.

1866
01:34:15,320 --> 01:34:17,639
Speaker 4: Well here here's the thing though. I was on Yamaha

1867
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:20,920
Speaker 4: for a long time, but there wasn't giving me that

1868
01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:26,240
Speaker 4: love you were talking about. I was like, hey, yeah, yeah,

1869
01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:29,439
Speaker 4: because I'm like, yo, why am I having to call

1870
01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:33,240
Speaker 4: the MD for Alicia Keys to get to the head

1871
01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:36,519
Speaker 4: of Yamaha Keyboards. I'm actually a keyboard player, but I

1872
01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:38,960
Speaker 4: have R and B, Grammys and hip. I'm Grammys and ship.

1873
01:34:39,280 --> 01:34:42,160
Speaker 4: I'm here. Hey, this works for you guys, you know.

1874
01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:46,519
Speaker 4: But the mds of the people get those people get

1875
01:34:46,560 --> 01:34:48,719
Speaker 4: those looks, and I'm like, yo, but I'm an actual

1876
01:34:48,760 --> 01:34:50,960
Speaker 4: panel player, like you know what I mean, Like I

1877
01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:53,439
Speaker 4: should get those looks, and I wasn't getting them. So

1878
01:34:53,520 --> 01:34:57,080
Speaker 4: I left and and like you said before, everybody else

1879
01:34:57,200 --> 01:34:59,360
Speaker 4: is like yo, for for years wanted to me. So

1880
01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:02,559
Speaker 4: I'm on Core now, you know, and they treat me

1881
01:35:02,640 --> 01:35:05,240
Speaker 4: they're great. I have to stop them from giving me shit.

1882
01:35:05,240 --> 01:35:09,439
Speaker 4: You're right, I do. Yeah, how many.

1883
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:13,680
Speaker 1: Well, the thing is is that when keyboards are manufactured

1884
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 1: and they put all those patches inside of one thing, like,

1885
01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:19,920
Speaker 1: does it matter how much product they make? Like, isn't

1886
01:35:19,920 --> 01:35:21,440
Speaker 1: it just the same version.

1887
01:35:21,200 --> 01:35:26,960
Speaker 4: Of basically, But for me, what interested me in keyboards

1888
01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:30,120
Speaker 4: initially too was because I started needing to use a

1889
01:35:30,160 --> 01:35:32,719
Speaker 4: keyboard on the road when I was playing my shows,

1890
01:35:32,720 --> 01:35:36,120
Speaker 4: and I needed something that felt good, that felt close

1891
01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:39,400
Speaker 4: to a piano as possible, and that sounded as close

1892
01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:41,599
Speaker 4: to a piano as possible. So that's when I became

1893
01:35:41,680 --> 01:35:46,040
Speaker 4: interested in plugins and interested in different keyboards because you know,

1894
01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:48,200
Speaker 4: but so the one I have now, the one I

1895
01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:53,120
Speaker 4: use now, the Chronos, feels the best when it comes

1896
01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:55,479
Speaker 4: to me having to get around like that, you know

1897
01:35:55,520 --> 01:35:57,680
Speaker 4: what I mean, like really get around. So for me,

1898
01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:01,040
Speaker 4: it was always that what felt the best because at

1899
01:36:01,080 --> 01:36:03,599
Speaker 4: my shows, yeah, I use a piano and I always

1900
01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:06,840
Speaker 4: have offender roads and then I have something on top,

1901
01:36:07,240 --> 01:36:09,400
Speaker 4: you know, some kind of like I have a smaller

1902
01:36:09,439 --> 01:36:11,760
Speaker 4: Crogos on top for my extra little sounds here and now.

1903
01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:13,840
Speaker 4: For for years I didn't have to do a lot

1904
01:36:13,880 --> 01:36:15,840
Speaker 4: of sounds because I had Casey Benjamin, he had a

1905
01:36:15,840 --> 01:36:16,559
Speaker 4: million sounds, and this.

1906
01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:20,439
Speaker 10: Ship right right right, Yeah, I remember we did that

1907
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:25,240
Speaker 10: gig at that sound was a rouge ago and he

1908
01:36:25,280 --> 01:36:27,559

Speaker 10: the lead, the door, lead, the red Yeah.

1910
01:36:30,200 --> 01:36:32,120

01:36:32,400 --> 01:36:33,719
Speaker 2: yeah all the million.

1912
01:36:33,800 --> 01:36:36,280
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, I'm not. I'm just not. I'm not really

1913
01:36:36,280 --> 01:36:39,559
Speaker 4: interested in a lot of sounds. I like piano, I

01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:42,960
Speaker 4: like roads, like a few leads and a pad every

1915
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:44,320
Speaker 4: now and then. But I like to you know, I

1916
01:36:44,360 --> 01:36:46,400
Speaker 4: know those guys who are great at those sounds, and

1917
01:36:46,400 --> 01:36:49,360
Speaker 4: I even hire those guys to come do sounds. Hey,

1918
01:36:49,439 --> 01:36:51,640
Speaker 4: you want to make some sounds, you do that. It

1919
01:36:51,640 --> 01:36:53,519
Speaker 4: freezes me up. It frees me up to just do

1920
01:36:53,560 --> 01:36:54,080
Speaker 4: what I want to do.

01:36:54,439 --> 01:36:56,200

Speaker 10: an undertaking is that and how involved is his family

1935

Speaker 10: sure that you know that ship has done tastefully or whatever,

1937
01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:38,160
Speaker 10: Like what was that process?

1938
01:37:38,240 --> 01:37:41,360
Speaker 2: Like, man, just doing that everything album? It Actually it

1939
01:37:41,479 --> 01:37:42,320
Speaker 2: was a nephew.

1940
01:37:42,080 --> 01:37:45,280
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, it was Vince, his nephew.

1941
01:37:45,680 --> 01:37:48,160
Speaker 4: And I've been on Vince for years and he's always

1942
01:37:48,200 --> 01:37:50,640
Speaker 4: he's fan of the music, and he you know, he

1943
01:37:50,760 --> 01:37:53,880
Speaker 4: knows that I'm I shadow a lot of what Miles

1944
01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:55,880
Speaker 4: already did and I and I think like that and

1945
01:37:55,880 --> 01:37:58,400
Speaker 4: I look see what you know. So he hit me

1946
01:37:58,479 --> 01:38:00,840
Speaker 4: up about it. First, I was doing the score for

1947
01:38:00,880 --> 01:38:03,880
Speaker 4: the movie. I was in the middle of that John

1948
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:06,719
Speaker 4: OUs Ahead. I was already in the middle of the movie.

1949
01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:10,080
Speaker 4: And then Sony hit me up about doing that doing

1950
01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:12,400
Speaker 4: the because it was about to be his ninetieth birthday

1951
01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:14,920
Speaker 4: or something. I think at that time it's going to

1952
01:38:14,960 --> 01:38:16,479
Speaker 4: be his ninetieth birthday. And they were like, we want

1953
01:38:16,520 --> 01:38:18,760
Speaker 4: to do a remix album, blah blah, and I was like,

1954
01:38:19,040 --> 01:38:20,880
Speaker 4: I'll only do it if it's I don't want to

1955
01:38:20,880 --> 01:38:23,000
Speaker 4: do a remix album, Like I'm not interested in putting

1956
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:25,639
Speaker 4: some Miles trumpets over hip hop, you know what I mean?

1957
01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:27,320
Speaker 3: Like that's been done. I want to do that.

1958
01:38:27,520 --> 01:38:28,840
Speaker 4: I said, the only way I'll do it is if

1959
01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:31,160
Speaker 4: you let me in the vault and let me take

1960
01:38:31,200 --> 01:38:36,200
Speaker 4: what I want. And they were like, okay, So they

1961
01:38:36,240 --> 01:38:42,320
Speaker 4: gave me eight hours. I was in the vault eight

1962
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:43,240
Speaker 4: hours of the vault.

1963
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:45,280
Speaker 2: Well, I thought you been eight hours to do the album.

1964
01:38:45,320 --> 01:38:47,400
Speaker 4: I was like, God, damn, no, no, no, they gave

1965
01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:49,559
Speaker 4: me eight hours of the vault.

1966
01:38:50,439 --> 01:38:53,679
Speaker 3: That's way too little, way too little.

1967
01:38:53,960 --> 01:38:56,840
Speaker 4: I took as much as I possibly could in that

1968
01:38:56,920 --> 01:38:58,280
Speaker 4: time because they didn't want to let me in the

1969
01:38:58,320 --> 01:39:00,800
Speaker 4: vault originally, you know what I'm saying. But it was

1970
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:03,200
Speaker 4: like a back and forth from my people there people,

1971
01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:05,880
Speaker 4: and then they finally like, okay, we'll give you eight hours.

1972
01:39:06,040 --> 01:39:09,599
Speaker 4: You know how much unreleased Miles was in there. I

1973
01:39:09,640 --> 01:39:11,439
Speaker 4: have a lot of ship.

1974
01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:14,120
Speaker 3: What were they what?

1975
01:39:14,120 --> 01:39:16,720
Speaker 4: What what were you taking?

1976
01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:17,080
Speaker 5: Right?

Speaker 3: Well? What?

Speaker 7: What what were you taking m P three's tapes talking about.

01:39:27,160 --> 01:39:28,719
Speaker 3: No just P three ship?

01:39:28,800 --> 01:39:29,000
Speaker 11: Yeah?

1982
01:39:29,160 --> 01:39:29,439
Speaker 3: I did.

1983
01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:31,640
Speaker 4: I brought my hard driving and they were just like,

1984
01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:33,559
Speaker 4: take what you want? What do you want to pull up?

1985
01:39:33,560 --> 01:39:33,640
Speaker 10: Now?

1986
01:39:33,680 --> 01:39:34,680
Speaker 3: What iut gonna pull up now?

1987
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:40,040
Speaker 4: But uh, you know some digitized and some stuff was

1988
01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:41,880
Speaker 4: to track what you can't do much with. But then

1989
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:48,400
Speaker 4: they had ship that was like eight tracks and cursing out.

1990
01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:51,760
Speaker 4: I got so much. I got yeah, I got that

1991
01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:56,360
Speaker 4: got him. I got him talking ship, cussing out talking

1992
01:39:56,400 --> 01:39:57,800
Speaker 4: to Ron Carter when he was trying to learn from

1993
01:39:57,800 --> 01:39:58,519
Speaker 4: them jazz dance.

1994
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:02,840
Speaker 3: Wait, I wait, did I share this previously?

1995
01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:07,000
Speaker 1: On another I found out something that I don't think

1996
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:11,320
Speaker 1: the jazz world is aware of. I was recently told

1997
01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:13,680
Speaker 1: by a lot of jazz I had to ask at

1998
01:40:13,800 --> 01:40:18,800
Speaker 1: least six of them. I did not realize that Ron

1999
01:40:18,880 --> 01:40:25,719
Speaker 1: Carter does not know how to solo good. So someone

2000
01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:30,960
Speaker 1: someone brought this up to me when I was asking my, my, my, other,

2001
01:40:31,160 --> 01:40:35,679
Speaker 1: my older jazz heads about stuff. And to them, they're

2002
01:40:35,800 --> 01:40:40,480
Speaker 1: baffled that one of the most iconic hip hop samples

2003
01:40:41,040 --> 01:40:47,040
Speaker 1: and they're referencing the McCoy teimer sample for the choices

2004
01:40:47,120 --> 01:40:51,920
Speaker 1: yours with Ron Carter, and Ron Carter is on base

2005
01:40:52,040 --> 01:40:55,360
Speaker 1: doing that, and I guess the the whole thing is

2006
01:40:55,400 --> 01:41:02,080
Speaker 1: that they're laughing at the irony that the world's worst soloist,

2007
01:41:03,320 --> 01:41:06,519
Speaker 1: and I was like, blasphemy. Right now, They're like no, no, no, no, no,

2008
01:41:07,080 --> 01:41:10,519
Speaker 1: Ron's a perfect foundation for music. But if you notice

2009
01:41:10,920 --> 01:41:13,760
Speaker 1: he Miles never gave him a solo on any of

2010
01:41:13,840 --> 01:41:16,240
Speaker 1: his records. And I was like, I don't believe his ship.

2011
01:41:16,760 --> 01:41:18,960
Speaker 1: And then I went back and for a whole month

2012
01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:22,320
Speaker 1: listened to every Miles Davis.

2013
01:41:22,840 --> 01:41:23,840
Speaker 3: Couldn't find one.

2014
01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:27,240
Speaker 4: If there's anything, it was just walking so low. If

2015
01:41:27,280 --> 01:41:30,599
Speaker 4: there was one, it was just was one like there was.

2016
01:41:31,240 --> 01:41:34,920
Speaker 3: He was there just ass foundations, I exactly. And then

2017
01:41:34,920 --> 01:41:36,439
Speaker 3: when I was like, wait a minute, why is that so?

2018
01:41:36,560 --> 01:41:39,120
Speaker 1: Because Ron Carter is just like he's like, no, this

2019
01:41:39,200 --> 01:41:42,000
Speaker 1: is y'all fault is that's tribe fault y'all.

2020
01:41:42,040 --> 01:41:43,519
Speaker 3: May y'all may be.

2021
01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:49,439
Speaker 1: Worst music shit Miles Davids arsenal King, And I'm like,

2022
01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:53,360
Speaker 1: this is blasphemy. But I didn't realize, like how do

2023
01:41:53,400 --> 01:41:57,479
Speaker 1: you judge? Maybe I don't know, Like, yeah, how do

2024
01:41:57,520 --> 01:41:59,080
Speaker 1: you know if a cat is real or not?

2025
01:42:00,920 --> 01:42:03,479
Speaker 4: Well, that's it depends on the instrument, because the reality

2026
01:42:03,560 --> 01:42:07,120
Speaker 4: is no, most people don't want to hear bas solo anyway.

2027
01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:11,559
Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you, Christian McBride. You went to school

2028
01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:13,680
Speaker 4: with the most incredible bass soloist in the history of

2029
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:16,360
Speaker 4: jazz music, so you have a different outlook on it.

2030
01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:17,720
Speaker 3: But most people don't want to hear.

2031
01:42:18,520 --> 01:42:20,160
Speaker 7: That's when you go to the bathroom man.

2032
01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:22,200
Speaker 4: All that that's the joke.

2033
01:42:22,680 --> 01:42:27,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I now I believe that Chris is I

2034
01:42:27,280 --> 01:42:31,120
Speaker 1: mean next a mingus Like I feel like Chris is

2035
01:42:31,160 --> 01:42:32,360
Speaker 1: the god of jazz bass.

2036
01:42:32,360 --> 01:42:33,960
Speaker 3: So maybe I am sported.

2037
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:37,360
Speaker 4: But period, there has no never been a soloist like

2038
01:42:37,439 --> 01:42:40,280
Speaker 4: Christian McBride. That's not even that's not even up for debate.

2039
01:42:40,640 --> 01:42:43,400
Speaker 4: There's not one person that's even close to it. Jazz

2040
01:42:43,439 --> 01:42:46,240
Speaker 4: based soloists like McBride is. No one gets around like that.

2041
01:42:46,400 --> 01:42:46,880
Speaker 3: It's true.

2042
01:42:47,680 --> 01:42:50,960
Speaker 4: No bass player makes other instruments scared to play after them,

2043
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:55,520
Speaker 4: except Christian McBride when they solo. I've had this conversation

2044
01:42:55,680 --> 01:42:59,240
Speaker 4: with all everybody. He's the only bass player that when

2045
01:42:59,240 --> 01:43:01,320
Speaker 4: he solos, you're like, what a what am I going

2046
01:43:01,400 --> 01:43:04,280
Speaker 4: to play? You know what I'm saying? Like most based

2047
01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:07,559
Speaker 4: most basics stay in their base range and they don't

2048
01:43:07,560 --> 01:43:09,840
Speaker 4: have much vocabulary. Because you don't you don't get to

2049
01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:11,240
Speaker 4: work out as much, you don't get to sol us

2050
01:43:11,280 --> 01:43:13,519
Speaker 4: much you have the one based solo in a set

2051
01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:15,479
Speaker 4: at best, you know what I'm saying.

2052
01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:17,000
Speaker 3: But everybody else, that's what you do.

2053
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:21,160
Speaker 1: Your job is just so without you, without you throwing

2054
01:43:21,560 --> 01:43:25,760
Speaker 1: your contemporaries under or your idols under. Yeah, but I

2055
01:43:26,080 --> 01:43:28,960
Speaker 1: always wanted like and this is where because comedians have

2056
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:33,240
Speaker 1: a whole nother standard. I I guess I have a

2057
01:43:34,720 --> 01:43:39,720
Speaker 1: you know, like when I criticize Kanye's patches, yeah, you know,

2058
01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:42,639
Speaker 1: his drum patches or whatever. And even Kanye him something

2059
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:54,040
Speaker 1: now I feel like he'll tell you, but it's just like,

2060
01:43:54,439 --> 01:43:57,360
Speaker 1: you know, I hear people just dismiss it as like,

2061
01:43:57,439 --> 01:43:59,559
Speaker 1: oh you have like dog with sole ears, like you

2062
01:43:59,560 --> 01:44:01,960
Speaker 1: hear something that we can't hear. But right, you know,

2063
01:44:03,120 --> 01:44:05,280
Speaker 1: when I hear a producer, I could tell like based

2064
01:44:05,320 --> 01:44:08,759
Speaker 1: on their you know, the way that they chop their

2065
01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:11,519
Speaker 1: their patches and what they use and their arrangement and

2066
01:44:11,560 --> 01:44:14,479
Speaker 1: their tone and all that stuff. You know, stuff that

2067
01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:16,519
Speaker 1: I can hear that the average person can't hear.

2068
01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:18,559
Speaker 3: But yeah, how do you know?

2069
01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:23,120
Speaker 1: Like my dad would know how good a musician was

2070
01:44:23,200 --> 01:44:26,599
Speaker 1: based on how they play ballad. He makes them play

2071
01:44:26,640 --> 01:44:30,280
Speaker 1: a ballot and he's like I can instantly tell who

2072
01:44:30,439 --> 01:44:32,639
Speaker 1: is good and who's not good when you play, when

2073
01:44:32,680 --> 01:44:34,360
Speaker 1: you give them the easiest shit in the world to

2074
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:36,840
Speaker 1: play and they fall apart in front of me.

2075
01:44:37,080 --> 01:44:41,240
Speaker 4: So what d Yeah, no, that's a good one too.

2076
01:44:41,439 --> 01:44:43,200
Speaker 4: Especially as the piano player. When you play a ballad,

2077
01:44:43,439 --> 01:44:46,120
Speaker 4: you're exposed because now it's it's really about your touch

2078
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:49,439
Speaker 4: and there's the space there. So what how much knowledge

2079
01:44:49,479 --> 01:44:51,120
Speaker 4: do you have to fill up that space? What? What

2080
01:44:51,160 --> 01:44:52,720
Speaker 4: can you do to fill up that space? A lot

2081
01:44:52,760 --> 01:44:55,240
Speaker 4: of people feel and be tasteful about it. A lot

2082
01:44:55,280 --> 01:44:58,240
Speaker 4: of people feel like, especially piano players, they feel like

2083
01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:00,920
Speaker 4: when I go to shit like or stuff like that,

2084
01:45:01,080 --> 01:45:03,640
Speaker 4: a million piano players, everybody's trying to play.

2085
01:45:04,320 --> 01:45:04,840
Speaker 3: I went one.

2086
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:06,800
Speaker 4: I went twice in my life. I had to go

2087
01:45:06,800 --> 01:45:09,600
Speaker 4: over the last. I did a thing for Corey just

2088
01:45:09,720 --> 01:45:13,840
Speaker 4: read recently. I did a show there for Corey And

2089
01:45:14,160 --> 01:45:19,599
Speaker 4: so dude, it's yeah, you already know anyway. Yeah, everybody

2090
01:45:19,640 --> 01:45:21,840
Speaker 4: wants to play the fastest thing they possibly can, giant

2091
01:45:21,880 --> 01:45:23,479
Speaker 4: steps or some shit like that. And then when you

2092
01:45:23,479 --> 01:45:25,800
Speaker 4: play fast, you don't have to have touch, not about touch,

2093
01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:27,960
Speaker 4: not about this, not about that, and it goes by

2094
01:45:28,040 --> 01:45:30,520
Speaker 4: so fast and not paying attention. But with piano players,

2095
01:45:30,760 --> 01:45:32,439
Speaker 4: you can, like I can sit down, I can see

2096
01:45:32,439 --> 01:45:35,439
Speaker 4: a piano player sit down, and in five seconds I

2097
01:45:35,439 --> 01:45:37,800
Speaker 4: can know what I'm about to hear. Sometimes I can

2098
01:45:37,840 --> 01:45:40,080
Speaker 4: do it just by your posture and what you while

2099
01:45:40,120 --> 01:45:43,000
Speaker 4: you hold your hands. A lot of times I can tell, okay,

2100
01:45:43,280 --> 01:45:45,719
Speaker 4: you actually don't play jazz. You have to play church organ,

2101
01:45:46,520 --> 01:45:50,920
Speaker 4: but you're playing piano today. Like for instance, you see

2102
01:45:50,960 --> 01:45:53,400
Speaker 4: me play organ, you think I don't play keys because

2103
01:45:53,439 --> 01:45:57,280
Speaker 4: I suck at orgon. I know. I know Chedrick Mitchell

2104
01:45:57,280 --> 01:45:59,639
Speaker 4: and Krey Henry and James Poison, these kinds of cat

2105
01:46:00,120 --> 01:46:00,840
Speaker 4: not an organ player.

2106
01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:03,320
Speaker 3: There's a difference in the technique.

2107
01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:07,960
Speaker 1: It's a different so that Corey does like that, you

2108
01:46:07,960 --> 01:46:09,640
Speaker 1: would have to practice a lot to get to that

2109
01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:10,599
Speaker 1: one hundred.

2110
01:46:11,439 --> 01:46:14,719
Speaker 4: When he plays chords not lines, is different, Like lines

2111
01:46:14,880 --> 01:46:16,759
Speaker 4: on organ are easy because the key is the plastic

2112
01:46:16,800 --> 01:46:19,280
Speaker 4: and there's no weight. A real piano has weights, So

2113
01:46:19,400 --> 01:46:21,680
Speaker 4: you can when you can tell somebody's real chops when

2114
01:46:21,680 --> 01:46:23,479
Speaker 4: to play a piano because that's when the weight's there,

2115
01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:27,479
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Yeah, if you're slow on organ,

2116
01:46:27,520 --> 01:46:30,840
Speaker 4: you're I can't help you because it's a plastic key.

2117
01:46:30,840 --> 01:46:32,599
Speaker 4: You just supposed to be fast, you know what I mean.

2118
01:46:33,040 --> 01:46:36,280
Speaker 4: But Corey, Yeah, any organ player that's really good moving

2119
01:46:36,280 --> 01:46:38,920
Speaker 4: from chord to chord, it's a fucking spider technique. Like

2120
01:46:39,160 --> 01:46:41,960
Speaker 4: everything has to be connected, and you voice things different

2121
01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:45,080
Speaker 4: because you're used to having bass pedals, So your voicings

2122
01:46:45,160 --> 01:46:47,080
Speaker 4: up here are different. Piano players, are you not used

2123
01:46:47,120 --> 01:46:49,000
Speaker 4: to having bass pedals? We have to play base here,

2124
01:46:49,200 --> 01:46:52,240
Speaker 4: so our voicings are different to make it full, because

2125
01:46:52,280 --> 01:46:54,880
Speaker 4: we have to make it full here. Organ players have

2126
01:46:54,920 --> 01:46:57,840
Speaker 4: the pedals, so they're the just there the cord. The

2127
01:46:57,840 --> 01:46:59,679
Speaker 4: structure of the chord is still to be like what

2128
01:46:59,720 --> 01:47:03,000
Speaker 4: the hell hell you know, so immediately you could tell

2129
01:47:03,560 --> 01:47:06,000
Speaker 4: what that somebody plays by like sitting sitting down, you

2130
01:47:06,040 --> 01:47:08,360
Speaker 4: know what I mean. And yeah, and the vocabulary is

2131
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:09,920
Speaker 4: super easy to tell immediately.

2132
01:47:10,439 --> 01:47:13,400
Speaker 10: You know that roads players is another thing too, like

2133
01:47:13,479 --> 01:47:17,720
Speaker 10: I know, like yeah, that's a whole other thing, like yeah, roses.

2134
01:47:17,720 --> 01:47:20,200
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, everybody that plays piano can't play roles and

2135
01:47:20,280 --> 01:47:23,960
Speaker 4: vice versa, and like all those the different touches and

2136
01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:25,479
Speaker 4: different vibes and like.

2137
01:47:25,600 --> 01:47:30,360
Speaker 1: One, so what's your accordion game? Like I'm crazy on accordion.

2138
01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm crazy on the Courdon talking about I do know

2139
01:47:36,840 --> 01:47:39,040
Speaker 1: one that's amazing though. I used to see him with

2140
01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:41,360
Speaker 1: Jeff Tay Watts on Monday Nights at the Z Bar

2141
01:47:41,640 --> 01:47:47,880
Speaker 1: years ago, really Accordion and and tag. He was smashing

2142
01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:50,920
Speaker 1: bro Wait a minute for the guy. How how does

2143
01:47:50,920 --> 01:47:53,479
Speaker 1: it feel to be the person that got Malcolm Jamal

2144
01:47:53,600 --> 01:47:55,200
Speaker 1: Warner his first gram?

2145
01:48:00,160 --> 01:48:00,320
Speaker 3: Wrong?

2146
01:48:00,880 --> 01:48:01,160
Speaker 4: Funny?

2147
01:48:01,760 --> 01:48:02,840
Speaker 3: You know what's crazy about that?

2148
01:48:02,880 --> 01:48:04,719
Speaker 4: Though? That wasn't supposed to have most of my stuff

2149
01:48:04,760 --> 01:48:07,000
Speaker 4: on black Radio. I'll tell you everybody all the time.

2150
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:09,800
Speaker 4: It's like, whenever I make an album, the universe is

2151
01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:12,800
Speaker 4: always a co producer because it never goes how I

2152
01:48:12,840 --> 01:48:14,720
Speaker 4: wanted to go all the way and I know that.

2153
01:48:15,400 --> 01:48:17,120
Speaker 4: I know that going in and I'm okay with it

2154
01:48:17,120 --> 01:48:20,960
Speaker 4: because great things, better things have happened because the universe

2155
01:48:21,040 --> 01:48:22,880
Speaker 4: is like, look, nigga, this is what's gonna happen. So

2156
01:48:23,240 --> 01:48:25,360
Speaker 4: she'll the fuck this is can't do shit about it.

2157
01:48:25,720 --> 01:48:29,639
Speaker 4: So when I did the Song of Jesus Chows of America,

2158
01:48:29,720 --> 01:48:33,320
Speaker 4: it was it was and and and old to the

2159
01:48:33,400 --> 01:48:36,960
Speaker 4: children of the Sandy Hub tragedy. That morning of the

2160
01:48:37,040 --> 01:48:40,280
Speaker 4: actual tragedy. I was doing it Stevie tribute. I believe

2161
01:48:40,880 --> 01:48:42,400

2167
01:48:55,880 --> 01:48:58,519
Speaker 4: It might have been so two nights. The first night

2168
01:48:58,920 --> 01:49:02,120
Speaker 4: was of that day that the TRACTI happened another night

2169
01:49:02,160 --> 01:49:03,679
Speaker 4: and you came one of those nights. I can't remember

2170
01:49:03,680 --> 01:49:06,200

2173
01:49:13,760 --> 01:49:16,320
Speaker 4: I woke up and my good friend Jimmy, Jimmy Green,

2174
01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:20,120
Speaker 4: his daughter was killed in that. Oh wow, Jimmy was

2175
01:49:20,160 --> 01:49:21,720

01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:25,400
Speaker 3: was the first grade.

2178
01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:27,920
Speaker 4: And so that fucked me up because I have at

01:49:27,920 --> 01:49:29,640
Speaker 4: this point, I have a son, you know what I mean.

2182
01:49:34,479 --> 01:49:36,280
Speaker 4: have kids, it's one thing. When once you have a kid,

01:50:00,200 --> 01:50:02,960
Speaker 4: reading the lyrics on her phone. It was actually it

2191
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:06,599
Speaker 4: was the sound check she was right beforehand. She said,

2192
01:50:06,760 --> 01:50:09,120
Speaker 4: mike check one two, Mike check one too. That's why

2193
01:50:09,120 --> 01:50:11,320

Speaker 4: they were writing a song. And in the middle of that,

2262
01:53:09,600 --> 01:53:12,360
Speaker 4: I had Loupe come over to their house to meet

2263

Speaker 4: for him to do what he's gonna do for the record.

2265
01:53:18,040 --> 01:53:20,400
Speaker 4: And then I had Most come over a little bit later.

2266
01:53:20,880 --> 01:53:22,400
Speaker 4: So they were freaking out. They were like, what, oh

Speaker 4: my god. You know, Most came over a little bit

2268
01:53:24,680 --> 01:53:26,920
Speaker 4: later so I could tell him, Hey, this is what

2269
01:53:27,000 --> 01:53:29,000
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about doing blah blah blah blah tomorrow when

Speaker 4: you come to you know, blah blah blah blah blah.

2271
01:53:30,920 --> 01:53:33,759
Speaker 4: But that's and then literally that's just how that happened.

2272
01:53:33,800 --> 01:53:37,120
Speaker 4: That that process was black Radio one was a five

2273
01:53:37,360 --> 01:53:40,800
Speaker 4: was five days of recording, and then Black Radio two

2274
01:53:40,960 --> 01:53:42,240
Speaker 4: was like six days of recording.

2275
01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:45,800
Speaker 2: You know, man on Black Radio two. We have to

2276
01:53:45,920 --> 01:53:50,679
Speaker 2: ask a guest that we had earlier was music Lord

2277
01:53:50,880 --> 01:53:57,080
Speaker 2: Jesus does music like ah yeah, oh, because.

2278
01:54:00,400 --> 01:54:04,000
Speaker 3: A little's a real gall that.

2279
01:54:05,960 --> 01:54:07,920
Speaker 2: You don't like it what he says, you don't like you.

2280
01:54:08,560 --> 01:54:12,400
Speaker 2: So he has a he has a very complex relationship

2281
01:54:12,520 --> 01:54:13,679
Speaker 2: with his back catalog.

2282
01:54:14,080 --> 01:54:14,880
Speaker 4: Okay, when we had.

2283
01:54:14,880 --> 01:54:17,559
Speaker 10: Him on the show, we didn't specifically ask him about

2284
01:54:17,640 --> 01:54:20,400
Speaker 10: this song. So no, he didn't slander. Now, we didn't

2285
01:54:20,400 --> 01:54:23,280
Speaker 10: ask about this song. But no, that ship as hard

2286
01:54:23,280 --> 01:54:23,679
Speaker 10: as fuck.

2287
01:54:24,120 --> 01:54:26,640

01:54:52,320 --> 01:54:55,280
Speaker 4: we went to the studio, and that's why he liked it.

2298
01:54:55,640 --> 01:54:57,839
Speaker 4: The first night, the first night we were in the studio,
